On the right - Bezalel Smotrich's Religious Zionist list receives only 21.3% of the votes, Otzma Yehudit, combined with the Noam party, receives 2.21% of the votes, and Bayit Hayehudi receives only 0.41% of the votes.
On the left - while the Labor Party led by Meirav Michaeli continues to strengthen and reaches 6 seats - Blue and White joins the Israeli Party in falling below the threshold.
According to the survey, if the elections were held today, Blue and White would receive only 1.91% of the votes, while Huldai would receive 0.91%.
Yaron Zelicha's economic party, which in other polls is approaching the threshold, is also very far from the threshold and receives 0.81% of the votes.
The Likud continues to stand firmly at the top of the party list, with 31 seats. Following it, by a wide margin, is Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid, which is establishing itself as the second largest party with 18 seats, overtaking Gideon Sa'ar's New Hope with only 15 seats.
While Smotrich struggles to unite parties to survive, Naftali Bennett's Yamina continues to be stable with 12 seats.
The Joint List, which has lost a third of its strength since the last elections, with 10 seats (and it has not yet been announced whether Ra'am will resign). Shas and United Torah Judaism are stubbornly maintaining their strength with 8 seats each, as is Yisrael Beiteinu with 7 seats.
At the end of the party list - the two left-wing parties: the Labor Party with 6 seats continues to strengthen after the primaries for the presidency and the list, while Meretz with 5 seats.
Labor's strengthening mainly hurts Huldai and Blue and White, which do not pass the electoral threshold.
In terms of the balance sheet - according to the survey, Netanyahu's classic right-wing-ultra-Orthodox bloc, which includes the Likud, the Haredi factions, and Yamina, stands at 59 seats, only 2 seats away from the 61-seat threshold that would allow Netanyahu to form a homogeneous right-wing government.
The bloc opposing Netanyahu - which includes Yesh Atid, New Hope, the Joint List, Yisrael Beiteinu, Labor and Meretz - has 61 seats.
A separate question in the survey, which examined a scenario of the Labor Party running together with Huldai and Ofer Shelah - led by Merav Michaeli - indicates that an expanded Labor Party would reach 10 seats, an increase of 4 seats compared to the current situation, in which neither Huldai nor Shelah pass the threshold.
Such a union would weaken Yesh Atid by 2 seats and Tikva Hadasha and Meretz by one seat each. However, a union of the left-wing parties does change the division within the bloc opposing Netanyahu - but it has no effect on the balance of power: Netanyahu's classic right-wing-ultra-Orthodox bloc would receive 59 seats, and the opposing bloc - 61.
The survey was conducted by the Panels Politics Institute, led by Menachem Lazar, among 510 respondents in an online panel, who constitute a representative sample of the population in Israel - both Jews and Arabs. The survey was conducted last night and its maximum sampling error is 4.4%.
